Pros

The benefits are solid for employees

Cons

The pay is not comparable to others in industry. There is a lack of recognition and movement for career paths. The commitment to DEI is often slowed by stale upper leadership who are against any sort of change. Tech is stagnant for a company who claims to be "the digital bank" and "do it right" falls short for the employees. Front line workers can tell horror stories. The past 4 years have shown complete incompetence and lack of direction from leadership throwing around buzz words with little follow through. Work life balance falls short after layoffs and implementing AI mental health benefits wont save someone doing the work of three people. Talent has left for greener pastures. What a waste and shell of a company compared to when I first started.

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
